I bought it at the PX in Alabama, in 1983. I keep it clean, but it's sort of yellowish by now. I gave my mother-in-law one, in white, but she no longer has it. I wish I had the white one now. We are moving and the almond color won't look good in my nice, new kitchen.

Not sure I want to sell it, though. If I don't need it in my new kitchen, I might part with it, though I will have to get a butcher block for my good knives.

I am keeping mine, for now. I may be able to keep it in the pantry, which is next to the counter, hidden behind doors that look like the rest of the doors in the kitchen cabinets. Or, under one of the counters, though the shelf in them, if it's not recessed, may prevent me from putting it there. But we will see. It's such a handy instrument, I kind of hate to give it up.
